Is there a way to install the tokens for a 2015 Lyrik or Pike into a 26" Lyrik?

I tuned my fork to have a better bottomless behavior but I lost a good amount of respond on the small hits.

I'm 72kg, switch from 40psi to 45psi on my rc2dh solo air, solved the bottom out but lost sag and sensitivity.

also- I'm planning to see what kind of small bump response i can get by removing all of the spring preload on the shims and running a two-stage stack, something like 20-20-17x0.15-13x0.15-20-20-13-10.
means the HSC adjustment won't do anything but it's a small price to pay if it works as it should. I'll keep you all posted!

how are you running so little air, what sag % are you at?

no oil in the lowers or in the air spring? 6ml is a small enough volume that when coated across everything it might not be 100% visible. a slight oil loss is also normal and assuming you've been riding for the last few months, i would expect a small loss.

have you checked the oil level of the right side damper?

no oil in the air spring
just take the air cap and look inside,was expecting to see some red motorex on the white plastic cap
all seems bone dry
have put 2 ml and close again.

havent cheked the quantity in the lowers, im trying to find the o ring sizes and then strip the thing and put new orings.

40psi 20%
45psi 15%

Need tokens

Can't get tokens for older lyriks.

what you can do though is glue things to the bottom of the air spring cap to reduce volume. i believe novajustin was talking about it a few pages back, have a look.

considering I'm 80kg and running 70psi for 15%, something seems up with your pressures. could be high stiction, you done a lowers service recently?

your best bet would be to buy the lyrik service kit, it's got every o-ring and glide ring that you'll need. i doubt you've destroyed an o-ring in two months though. when you say it feels funny, what's it doing that's not right?

yes better go RS full kit. because not 2 months of riding as the origs on the spring side are still the orignal ones...
normaly every 6 months strip, clean,new oils (motorex) and sometimes new rebound oring.
now is feeling more harsh, bad on small bumps.

Without being able to actually look at the fork, I'd just advise you to service everything, change over all the o-rings and see. Pike seals/slick honey/thicker lowers oil can all help with small bump sensitivity while you've got it all apart.

Sorry I can't be more specific but it 'lack of small bump sensitivity' is a fairly general problem that could be any number of things.

going to order the service kit

about the lowers oil allway think that a thinner oil would improve not a thicker one

Thicker oil is a better lubricant.

This. It tends to stay on whatever surface it's on and coat it, instead of pooling at the bottom of the lowers.

20w or have engine oils at home 5/30 and 15/40 syntetic
